CHRISTMAS MINI CHOCOLATE CAKE

Mini cake is a perfect option if your having a friend over or if you want to make a small desert. It's quick and easy - just the way I like it ;)

Ingredients :

• 6 tbsp milk
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 4 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Add the milk, oil, egg, salt and vanilla extract to a bowl and whisk till combined.

Sieve in the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and whisk again till all is combined.

Share the batter equally between two 10 cm baking pans.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes.

If you have just one 10 cm pan like me, bake one cake at a time.

For the icing between the cake layers I have used cream cheese icing, you can find the recipe for that in the Christmas Red Velvet Cake post by scrolling down ;)

I have topped the cake up with a cream cheese drizzle :

• 60 g cream cheese
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 2 tbsp whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix the whipping cream on low then high speed for about 5 minutes or till stiff. Seperatly mix the cream cheese with icing sugar and vanilla extract till you get a creamy consistancy. Gently add the whipped cream to the mixture and mix using a whisk till all gets combined.

Easy, quick, yummy! What else can you want from a cake :)

As always Enjoy!
